ROLLER-STAMP.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 3, 1907.

Application filed April 18, 1907. Serial No. 368.960.

To all whom it may concern Be 1t known that I, FRANZ Gocnr, a sub- .'cct of the Em eror of Germany, residing at ehl-on-the-R iine, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Roller-Stamps, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to roller stamps with interchangeable type in which the ordmary letters are arranged in s ecial sector shaped type cases, which with t e type as a Against the outer cylindrical surface of the roller are fitted the sector shaped type cases 0 arranged radially one against the other.

The type cases are rovidcd with a set screw 0 on the narrow si e piece 0 which is easily accessible from the outside, and on which, to

facilitate irrections, is pasted a copy c of the matter. This set screw serves to hold in the known manner the inserted lettering d, and to facilitate its exchange.- In order to facilitate the even laying of the letters on the one hand and their correct placing on the other a rib f (Fig. 5) is arranged along one side of the letter cases, against which the type notches rest. In this way the inverted insertion of letters is prevented so that the filling of the matrices may be effected by an inexperienced person. The space remaining in the letter cases is filled up with a spacing piece. Ordinary book printing letters are used.

The radially shaped letter cases lie quite close to one another and are arranged in thickness according to the space between the lines. The latter can however be formed by.

Wedge shaped spacing plcces g. If lines are to he left free empty cases or wedges of the same shape are arranged in the space as also where the type does not fill up the roller. The type cases and the wedges may be made of wood. The letter cases can be inserted as desired and can therefore he kept ready for use with projecting characters.

The letter cases arranged around the roller core are held together by a fixed ring 72. and a loose hand ring 71. and secured to a roller which may he moved by means of a spindle is provided at the ends with a removable han dle 7c (Fig. 1). The side of the roller provided with the printed label referred to is closed from outside by a pressing diski and a nut l, with a rubber ring {1 arranged between the letter cases 0 and the pressing disk. At the other side is the fixed disk 1". a

The method of operation which is shown by Fig. 1 is as follows:-Aftcr inking the type the roller is placed on the paper so that the first name or sentence comes between the first and second lines of the previously printed water lines, then the roller is moved parallel to the sides, in the direction of the arrow in Fig. l and a print of all the sentence is then made on the paper. To insert the characters it is-only necessary to take off the pressure disk and the rubber ring. The whole list of characters is then before the operator and the letter cases are loose, so that they can be removed where required and replaced in other positions. The gaps are closed by pressing the other letter cases together, leaving the further necessary spaces. The letter cases can also be removed from the roller to be used separately, for example, to print the characters on receipt forms, delivery notes and the like.

hat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a roller stamp the combination of a cylindrical core I), ax e a, and disk r, wedge shaped type cases 0 arranged radially on the core, a fixed ring h and a loose ring it securing the cases, and a pressing disk i and nutl securing them at the end, as herein described.

2. In a roller stamp the combination of a c lindrical core I), axle (1, end disk r, wedge s laped type cases 0 arranged radially on the core, side piece c, adjusting set screws e and means for securing the cases at their ends and circumference.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
